Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
To implement research-based interventions, nurses must read recent literature and remain current in practice. Implementation of evidence-based care is not unique to nursing; it involves interventions provided by all members of the interdisciplinary health care team. The best methods for treating patients with a variety of signs and symptoms are researched by nurses with input from the research findings of other disciplines. Nursing care continues to evolve as nursing research provides new knowledge and recognizes best practices to improve patient care and outcomes. Evidence-based practice guidelines and updated information must be included in plans of care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
With the patient's permission, the nurse should share instructions with the people who may assist with care. Nurses empower patients and their support systems through effective teaching. When nurses provide patients and their families with opportunities to ask questions and comprehend health care information, they become an integral part of the health care process. Spouses, children, and friends often are involved in the care of a patient after discharge.
